I'll be there...except you aren't...

Michael Jackson was going to be my Elvis. I missed the chance to see the King of Rock and Roll (Due to the fact that I wasn't born), but I was going to see the King of Pop. Now it's too late. I missed my chance. I will never get to see the moonwalk in person. I know, I know there are a lot of people out there who can moonwalk. But I wanted to see THE moonwalk. It was his. It was Michael's. No one can do it like Michael. No one ever will do it like Michael.

I never even finished learning the Thriller dance. I figured as long as I got it down by this Halloween it would be okay. But it's not. I didn't even learn the Thriller dance before its creator died.

And it doesn't matter how many times the news brings up the "controversial issues" of his life. To me, Michael Jackson will always be a genius. <3

  1. I love the quotation at the end, so true, so true! I never got to see Rick Nelson, and that breaks my heart. The lesson learned is to see someone whenever possible, the chance may not come around again. (Not just performers, but anyone you care about)
